Your Quick Reference Guide to Common Increases and Decreases

We say that knitting is just two things: knitting and purling. But that isn’t really true. There are some other moves that admittedly aren’t any more difficult than knitting and purling that are super common and good to know for shaping knitting.

I’m talking about increases and decreases, of course, and we’ve put together an handy infographic that covers the basics of increasing and decreasing, what different methods look like and how they are formed.

Keep it as a reference when you need a refresher, or use it to learn a new skill. (You can find more in-depth tutorials for each one of them at About Knitting if you need more information.)

I hope you like this infographic and if there’s more knitting information you’d like to see in such a format, let me know!
